If you have a few million pounds burning a hole in your pocket, an ideal investment has just come on the market and it is only an hour away from Somerset.

The "most prestigious" apartment to be built on Britain's most exclusive seaside resort has been put on the market for a record-breaking £5 million.

Sandbanks, in Poole, Dorset, is renowned for being one of the priciest places in the world thanks to its stunning harbour and beach views. This state-of-the-art penthouse at the newly-constructed Ace development is the latest addition to the famous peninsula.

Steve Isaacs, director of Luxury and Prestige Realty, which is marketing the flat, told SWNS: "It is unique in terms of size and location and it is very unlikely there will be another penthouse built to this specification.

"On one side you have fantastic harbour views and on the other you have direct access to the beach. The penthouse has been fitted with the best of everything. You can programme the lighting remotely from anywhere in the world via your iphone.

"All of the fittings are bespoke and it is fully furnished so you can just pick up the keys and move in. There is a beautiful kitchen and the bathrooms all have a contemporary feel.

"It has a terrace which occupies the entire top floor and offers 360 degree views. It would be an ideal property for entertaining."

What's for certain is that if you have this as your home, you would definitely like to show it off. The apartment might be stunning but it would be nothing without the view and that is a corker too.

Mr Isaacs continued: "Sandbanks has a beautiful beach right on your doorstep and the views across Poole Harbour are also pretty special. The apartment block also has a swimming pool, steam room and sauna which is very unusual.

"It has just been completed and we have already had interest from potential buyers on three continents."

Land Registry figures show that the average price paid on Sandbanks is almost £1.1 million - around five times the average house in England and Wales. With a £5 million-plus asking price the Ace penthouse is around 20 times the price of a typical home. Stamp duty alone is more than £500,000.

If it achieves this, it will set a record for an apartment on Sandbanks, with publically available figures suggesting the current priciest pad in the area cost £3.7 million.
